The Wolf Among Us - Episode 3: A Crooked
Mile
Telltale
Games
Short and (not so) sweet, and
ends with a bang (a few actually). Not much more to say really.
More like Episode 2 than Episode
1, the choices are the thing. I did what most people did (according to
the stats) except for the last big choice. My Bigby is trying hard to be
more reasonable, but a broken nose or two can’t be helped, especially
when they deserved it.
The plot moves on and we are
definitely getting closer to what is really going on. Some new
characters come on board, and I can’t wait to see the newest one again.
This mirror image is far more interesting than the alternatives.
Everything remains top notch and
suitable “gritty”. If you don’t like bad language or adult themes, stay
away.
It is short, 90 minutes
perhaps, but it wasn’t a letdown. As the set up to the finale, it would
be just about right; with two episodes to go, you could argue it needed
more, not in terms of the where it takes the story, but just more so it
couldn’t be said it was eking out what should be a shorter story.
Nit-picky perhaps, but nothing can be perfect.
No more ratings until the whole
thing is finished, but I think I am looking forward to the next part
more than the next Walking Dead instalment. High praise indeed.
I played on:
OS: Windows 7
Processor: Intel i7-3820 4GHz
RAM: 12GB Ripjaw DDR3 2133 Mhz
Video card: AMD Radeon
HD 7800 2048MB
